On an emotional level, massage works to calm the nervous system and stimulate the natural healing mechanisms in the body. Our therapists not only provide structural, hands-on massage and manual therapies, but we also educate and guide clients about how to actively stretch and maneuver one’s body in ways that increase flexibility, support, and fluidity with movement.
Most importantly, we individualize each massage session to meet the unique needs and desires of the client.
Thai Massage
Thai massage is an ancient healing system combining acupressure and gentle pressure on different meridians and energy lines of the body. Thai massage includes assisted yoga-like long, lean muscle stretching. The combination provides muscle tension and energy release that helps the body feel elongated and released.
Thai massage is an ancient therapy, dating back over 2,500 years. Its origin is said to have come from India, during the time of the Buddha. The physician to the Buddha, Shivago Komarpaj, is said to have created the Thai massage. As Buddhism slowly started to make its way to Thailand, the massage technique came with it. Thai traditional massages were and still are, used in conjunction with other traditional medicines.

Sports Massage
Sports massage helps prevent injury and heals existing discomforts and injuries. Sports massage helps to alleviate pain and prevent such injuries that greatly affect flexibility, mobility, and response time. By reducing fatigue and relieving muscle swelling and tension, you the athlete will have an increase in strength, flexibility, mobility, and endurance. At AOH our highly trained sports massage therapists understand how to manipulate muscles and muscle tissues to improve your performance.
One of the most common setbacks for athletes is delayed-onset muscle soreness, more commonly known as DOMS. This refers to muscle pain that typically develops several hours post-exercise and consists of predominantly eccentric muscle actions—especially if the exercise is unfamiliar. Sports Massage can reduce this through improved blood flow and increased lymphatic system circulation that assists in the removal of metabolites and other toxins. Sports massage should be applied before and after athletic events, with scheduled maintenance sessions. This therapy also helps get the athlete in a good mental state for competition and prepares them to reach their athletic performance potential. Post-event sports massage is given following an athletic event and is mainly focused on recovery.

Shiatsu Massage
Shiatsu is a form of Japanese bodywork based on the framework of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). In the Japanese language, shiatsu means “finger pressure.” Shiatsu techniques include massages using the fingers, thumbs, feet, and palms. Shiatsu is assisted stretching and joint manipulation and mobilization.
Because Shiatsu massage relies so heavily on touch and acupressure, persons living with blindness in Japan often specialized in Shiatsu, and for centuries they made Shiatsu massage their livelihood. When allied forces occupied WWII Japan, Shiatsu massage as well as many other traditional eastern medical practices were banned. Eventually, the ban was lifted and primarily due to the urging of blind advocate and civil rights activist Helen Keller.

Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue massage therapy uses various degrees of pressure to release chronic muscle tension. It focuses on the deepest layers of muscle tissue, tendons, and fascia – the protective layer surrounding muscles, bones, and joints. AOH Deep Tissue Massage Therapists are highly skilled massage therapists that know how to adjust pressure, manipulate tissues on top of your muscles, and release newly formed knots to address soreness and pain.
A 2010 meta-analysis in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry found that massage modalities like deep tissue reduce stress hormone levels and heart rate, while at the same time, boosting mood and relaxation by triggering the release of oxytocin and serotonin.
